The russian spy network continues operating actively in European countries. This was said by Andrii Cherniak, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, during an interview to Greek edition “Iefimerida”.

“One of the russian’s main goals is to make an impact on separate respected people in European countries as well as on public opinion. That’s why, the russians put a lot into working with mass media. Those are both their open propaganda mouthpieces, such as ‘Russia Today’ TV channel and other more hidden methods of influence. There are cases when journalists of foreign media outlets, recruited by the russians, have the only purpose while doing their job – talking to their colleagues in order to change their mind to russia’s benefit,” Andrii Cherniak said.

According to the representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, the russian spy network has been focused on neutralizing the supply routes of the Western weapons that the partners provide Ukraine with recently.

“russia is interested in the entire Europe as ‘an influence zone’. If it conquers Ukraine, it will not stop there. It will go further. And we know that putin had such plans before invading Ukraine. It is possible that they have not changed now,” the representative of Ukraine’s military intelligence noted.
